India·s population policy stands somewhere between the pessimistic prediction of the Neo-Malthusians that mankind. particularly the third world. is heading for a major disaster if population continued to grow at the present pace and the assumption of the structuralists who as Epstein are convinced that the earth's resources are sufficient to cope with any size of population. provided society can be restructured in such a way as to ensure the universal application of ever advancing technological progress. ~he census of India shows that population of India is 683.810,051. India has neither the physical resources nor the organisational machinery Social, political and economic to control such a huge mass of population. At present there is an urgent need for uplifting 325 million persons living below the poverty line especially in rural areas (Simat, 1982). In spite of the various developmental programmes this change cannot be met if population continues to grow so rapidly.
